1:30 pm
nuclear energy purposes really need to separate between three and as a fuel that's for the element. in field reactors i think. you know there's some sometimes some confusion between the two and i. have have advantages and both of. you know technical challenges and also perhaps some pitfalls as well but i think in both cases for both the story and fuels and the story is the the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. authorial feel would be one that we would be told to feel that would go in a traditional conventional reactor so the current generation of reactors. a light water reactor for instance or heavy water reactor the kind of reactors that we've had for about the last fifty years by knowledge around the world. in fuel and those types of reactors would. be has a higher melting point so you have higher safety margins has a whole bunch of physical characteristics that make it a little more stable. perhaps more stable because the test is still coming in.
1:31 pm
but it is it will make it more stable more resilient even when used in current reactors and if it's used in current reactors then you can mix it up with plutonium or other parts of the nuclear waste and use it as a way of getting rid of that waste of fuel reactors all the re you know the molten salt reactor i think is what most people think of as the reactor. reactor is something that is it's a step change potentially in how we produce nuclear energy but perhaps even how we paradigm shift in how you produce all of our electricity at the moment i don't have but why is currently dumped as waste instead of being used for energy purposes and why wasn't the primary element used when developing nuclear energy while it was in you speaking with prosperity i mean there are two main reasons right the first reason is is fundamentally the ball. at the nuclear industry the you. the energy
1:32 pm
industry was being developed. really everybody would speak to bill agree that the primary focus was on producing plutonium. for nuclear bombs this is the heyday of the cold war the one nine hundred fifty s. one nine hundred sixty seventy's. doesn't produce any readily weaponize it will waste. the waste come out of thore i'm actually pretty difficult to handle frankly and and would actually really inhibits of the you want to build a bomb. the other side of it was there was a bomb doesn't produce weaponized but material the second side of it was that the forum is first. you have to have some it kickstarted. driver and at the time in the fifty's and sixty's there wasn't really much fits all material around so they were really unable to consider starting up three reactors until the late sixty's talk about a four year three reactor task going on right now in norway what has been discovered so far and how far do we still have to go until there's
1:33 pm
a viable technology those tests are specifically to develop a fuel that will. be able to be mixed with plutonium so it will be a good way of getting rid of the world's stock stockpile the plutonium. i think they will have a fuel on the market probably within about five years certainly within the decade. in terms of the rule radical reactors the reactors which are you know really the sort of almost the holy grail of nuclear energy. i think we're probably looking at a bit longer if we would have a big push you know we could go to the moon inside of eight years i think we could build a reactor fairly quickly but for real you know on the timescales in the budget we've got a variable at the moment sort of resources in the budgets we've got at the moment. i think it's going to be a bit of a long haul you know maybe fifteen to twenty years but what we really want to start to see and what we are starting to see are governments. energy corporations that are thinking outside of the box. private invented as well really beginning to crack this problem. so i think if there was
1:34 pm
a major effort of an international push to develop these. reactors to combat climate change then we could probably have something ready within fifteen years if you're talking about all these amazing capabilities that bremer has almost zero waste completely much more clean and the normal reactor that we're seeing now just clarify quickly through the reactor is. still produce some waste it's just the if you're talking about a molten salt back to the waste is. it's a complicated question but you know we produce less long lived waste let's put it that way before you move on to you only. david can you break down the waste a question really quickly because i think people would appreciate what do you mean by that. sure ok ok right well. when. one of the problems with the conventional reactors that we have at the moment it's not a you know it's an issue is that the solid fuel rods essentially part of them
1:35 pm
becomes degraded over time so you have to take the fuel out when when you've only burned up about three percent of the field in the road that's one of the issues one of the reasons that we have an issue with high level what's called high level radioactive waste. now if you have a molten so reactive then you because the fuel is liquid you can just pass the fuel around the reactor continuously and burn up all of the all of the what are called the act nights in the reactor. which means that the waste that comes out i mean you're not going to drink it but the way it comes out is far less long lived you know would be would be safe within about three hundred years. however big nuclear physics is a little more complicated than that in that for the for the three hundred years that some of that waste may be actually a little ball more intensely radioactive or harder to handle. and even conventional waste i just want to just want to clarify something on this on this waste issue as well regarding conventional nuclear waste i think there's a lot of. misconceptions about the waste here if you were entire life would be
1:36 pm
powered by nuclear energy the current generation of nuclear energy if your entire life would be powered by it it would produce. the amount of high level waste it would produce would fit inside a coke can. you know the people are often surprised to hear you know we need to start thinking in terms of volumes of waste rather than tonnage of waste nuclear waste being very dense that it's very heavy but doesn't take very much space. so even with the current technology not bad we're talking about a coke can for our entire lives and that's for travel. saying that the current ways that we're seeing with the nuclear reactors on earth today the waste is not as bad as it's made out to be as i was saying. i think obviously it needs to be stored securely needs to be handled well it is it is handled well. moment in general i mean i do agree with you because i see day after day just stories of nuclear waste not been able to be stored properly and it is really terrifying i think for people to understand how long lasting it is even if it is a small amount
1:37 pm
a lot of the waste that we have the moment can actually be really converted into fuel so it's actually still contains a lot of energy it's just that we need to develop the kinds of reactive spectrum reactors that can actually. react to the ok live using the waste we have as fuel and breaking it up making it less radioactive ok so we the u.k. for instance has a stockpile of plutonium so the field in the right reactor in advanced react to. power the entire country for about five hundred years so you know we always we do have lots of options we could we could put them back in the right kinds of reactors and generate electricity from it after fukushima i think that many people including me are wary of pursuing any type of nuclear power any type of nuclear energy why should people believe this is a smart and safe we attack our energy problems when we have more clean energy available geothermal solar wind wave exciter i think we have to think about the global the scale of the problem that we face globally. to me the reason i do the
1:38 pm
job that i do is because i am an environmentalist i always have been of our own mental if not more about climate change. however i also want a bright future for if i do one day have children i'd like a bright future for my children and my children's children. now if we look at the global picture it's clear that energy use is accelerating. we start with carbon emissions greenhouse gas emissions are still accelerating we have barely started to even slow the rate of increase. so we got a major problem. you know the i.p.c.c. said that we've only really got about thirty years to to to sort of pretty much the entire economy. and you know at the moment there's only one way of doing it and that's to primarily decarbonising energy. and there's only one country on the planet really manage to tell them it's for these and that's and maintain a high level of living standard of living for it's an absence that's fronts says
1:39 pm
eighty percent nuclear and some of the cleanest air in europe. so i think we need to look globally here you know we've got rising oh i would like to see you know look people around the planet be pulled out of poverty and one of the best ways of doing that is through cheap energy now all these coal plants never you know they're all in the pipeline anyway china's building thousands of coal plants you know that we need to fund a replacement for that they're not going to back in the books and renewables have a great role to play as energy efficiency we need to use energy more efficiently. but geothermal as well but those technologies is simply not enough david martin chief executive of weinberg foundation really appreciate you coming on. stick around you guys i sit down to find out how he uses buzz to to talk
1:40 pm
. they all told me my language as well but i will only react to situations
1:41 pm
as i have read the reports and let you know please you know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say it is mr k.l.a. car is on the docket. they do no more weasel words when you say and a direct question be prepared for a change when you have to punch be ready for a battle for the speech and little down the freedom to cost. what defines a country's success. faceless figures of economic growth. or a factual standard of living let.
1:42 pm
live to see a. first rate. and i think the church. and. the the. over the past few months we've learned that the n.s.a. spies on everyone from brazilian oil company executives to german chancellor angela
1:43 pm
merkel but now a whole new group of people have to worry about being targeted by the spy agency. that's right the newest leaked documents show that the n.s.a. along with its british counterpart g c h q had been monitoring the end game communications of people playing world of warcraft and second life why cause terrorism yes according to a two thousand and eight document titled exploiting terrorists use of games in virtual environments there as they call these virtual playgrounds quote target rich communication networks where terrorists can hide in plain sight but online. gaming attracts tens of millions of users worldwide so how could the n.s.a. possibly be monitoring all these communications by forcing their agents to save the world of warcraft by going into the world of warcraft that's right despite the lack of evidence of these fantasy filled terrorist cells the n.s.a. devoted so many resources to this program and had so many agents playing the games
1:44 pm
they didn't see how to make sure they weren't duplicating intelligence gathering or spying on each other folks this is where your tax dollars are going not only are we paying n.s.a. agents to slay digital orks and collect make believe gold we're also paying for these spooks to watch porn because if there's one thing the hardcore extremists love it's porn great so not only do i have to worry about getting honed by newbies in the world of warcraft but now i have to worry about n.s.a. trolls too i guess even in a fantasy world privacy is just that a fantasy. i . right now public distrust of the corporate media is that an all time high it seems we're finally reaching the breaking point where people are waking up to the fact that the mainstream media is
1:45 pm
nothing more than a mouthpiece for the corporate agenda as distrust had to record highs the airship for many of these networks has hit new lows the shift away from establishment news is giving way for independent journalist to provide information in new and innovative ways free from corporate bias and political pandering my next guest is one such journalist his name is tyrrell ventura and he's the co-host of an online talk show buzz saw as well as the son of a former minnesota governor jesse ventura thanks so much for coming on tyrrell is a pleasure and an honor and welcome to the belly of the beast and see if you're cia and yeah spent a nice little time in d.c. walking around was able to buy cia you're representing the herd well. let's get this far out of the way because you're obviously much more than your father's son but how was it growing up in the ventura family a lot of types and brother bo was not younger it was brilliant growing up with my dad i couldn't ask for a better father you know instilled a healthy dose of skepticism in me and you know also was a great rock in a in
1:46 pm
a beautiful human being to kind of have as a father figure and when you're with your house tapped at all while you were all we had a lot of fun when he was governor. right after he got out of office with found actually a bug. on the ground and then had a friend come out and take a look at the place and we realized the other bug their house for about four years which was a little interesting but you know when you're in the limelight like that you're kind of fighting the system you you have to expect certain things like that i mean my father had many run ins with the cia when he was governor so you know didn't didn't shock us but it was rather interesting and now look where we are today have come a long way tyrrell. seen you know you're close relationship with american politics growing up in a political family what do you see as the biggest hurdle facing the american political system the biggest hurdle there's an american political system is the corruption. you know the amount of money that's pumped into our political system from not only just special interest but you know everything from the military industrial complex and you know all the way up to the oil companies and big
1:47 pm
industry that's the hurdle and one of the things we have to fight and stop is that money whether it's through election reform or you know changing the system at its very core that is what we're fighting against because they they don't they don't look to the american people anymore for answers they look to their donors they look to their you know the people who get them elected year after year that's why you have career politicians who can shorten up the elections to shorten up how long they can serve in office that's a big start you know because and then they're not making a life out of it right right it's a huge hurdle and it's kind of like where do you even start because how do you you know tell these people who are executives in all these businesses just stop taking bribes are about the people care about you know we don't have that you know i think the amount of corruption in washington is probably at its worst you know since we've seen i mean we saw back in the days of you know. you know back in the seventy's hundreds you can kind of it's a little harder to you can see it first hand little bit here it's so intricate into
1:48 pm
the system that it's almost impossible to get out of it is let's talk of a show that you were on with your dad conspiracy theory with jesse ventura on tru t.v. how was it working in the mainstream media do you experience any sort of censorship along with the show you know it's interesting we only experienced censorship when we got into conspiracies that had yet to happen so we got into like police state and things like you know that episode be they kind of pulled the plug on very quickly because we pursued i got to do real well we had to set off a senator. or call him who you know didn't like the fact that he had he had sponsored legislation that could in fact be used to fire so you could be used to set up these prima camps and when we confronted him on that he had no idea it was even in the bill and it showed these what these politicians are they get handed what to write they get handed what to believe you know by think tanks and things like that they're really not responsible that they have no responsibility because we're getting clipped no you know i'm an ok person. through you know i think i think it even like a large majority of bills are actually just completely written by lobbyists and they're going to no idea what the hell they're signing off on so when you do
1:49 pm
a show like conspiracy theory that you can put on a cover of that and then we call them with their pants down you know about show them to get censor but the great thing about today with the internet and things like that is you can't really censor something anymore you know once it hits the marketplace you know once it hits that web once it's out there you know there's copies of it versions of it anybody could see it and i think that's why the attack now is not so much on censorship but on p.r. you know bill destroy you and who you are through like publicity bad publicity and things like that that's how they assassinate you know people who are fighting to make a change in the character assassination they do that well another person has been a character assassinate and the mainstream media is all over stone of course is down to the wall as all of you badasses are doing buzz how did you guys all link up . we linked up. a little bit we're starting the third season of conspiracy theory and he's such a brilliant you know just dynamic individual is like oh you've got to come on and he has this great knowledge of everything from fingers like a woman not a human pillions all the way down to you know banking and things like that he's
1:50 pm
a brilliant guy went to princeton and then i was a producer i'd worked with in hollywood and so we all kind of came aboard on the buzz saw and we found it to live t.v. they approached us to do a show afterward finished conspiracy theory and it was coming back on this to do you two are fantastic we bring in tabitha and we have a nice kind of little trifecta of thought. it's a great show and i've heard really great things and people who are watching it consistently last time i was on we talked about kind of the real most obvious conspiracy of all the corporatocracy i mean it's hidden in plain sight it's really irrefutable when you look at it do you think that it deters people from acknowledging this vast real conspiracy by discussing the reality in terms of like the illuminati and the new world order i think it does in the science that we we get caught up too much in the fight. of the world whether they end up being true or not it's sexier to go that way than just looking at pure corporate greed you know
1:51 pm
and i always learn what my dad's instinctually drove into me was the old nixon follow the money you know and if you follow the money you will see where the corruption lies and you'll see to the conspiracies and where the manipulation goes remember we're not fighting people who are sitting in a dark room twirling their evil mustache now we're fighting against people who believe they're doing right and that's the key you have to understand the thought patterns of the people that you're going up against otherwise how can you possibly change them how can you possibly win this war that we're in and i say it's a war because it is. what we're fighting against i like that you just said that because really these people do think that they're doing right that's not an evil secret cabal who is trying to exterminate the entire entourage and so we talked to was st john to death but confession of his bother just followed me to being involved with the killing of john kennedy and his father when asked why he said well i was a patriot you know and so when you look at something like that my god they would kill our president well they're doing it because they believe that's in the best interest of this country in their best interests you know and so that's why it's
1:52 pm
important to pay attention to what the motivations are just like the cia thinks is the best interest to take out you know. and overthrow democratic democratically elected leaders of other countries that it's i don't know why it's so hard of a stretch of people who would apply that same sort of program here when i was there and there is where there's there's a paid cia member in every state legislature you know now they don't let that be known but there is not elected we're talking about a state officials who are you know there for life you know they're in there you learn that when my father was governor so why you know why they're going to great question you know speaking of this whole conspiracy talk why is there no distinction between religion and conspiracies that actually the majority of americans believe in which is that j.f.k. questions about the nine eleven official story yet there's no distinction between those and i'm called as someone who believes that the moon landing wasn't real if i bring up these. things that the majority of people believe in in the mainstream because he said our somewhere along the way the term conspiracy theorist was kind of manipulated into being oh you're not paul you know you believe everything is
1:53 pm
a conspiracy well you know it's not you're not a nut ball you're a healthy dose of question if you do not study history you realize that all throughout history there's conspiracies there's a conspiracy to kill caesar you know that happens it's part of politics it's part of how the world runs it's not some fantastical thing you know when you get into the more of the abstract and there's a tear conspiracy that is out there to believe that there's reptilians running the world but we don't know about i mean who knows i've tried it i try to you know look at like the hard reality you know find the money follow those sources and you know see what i can physically you know kind of comprehend yeah because i think that when you know these people are kind of the boy who cried wolf yelling false flag that they're literally everything that happened then minutes i think it's really destroying incredible true thinking. let's move on now because we're almost out of time a lot of content completely cut through the left right paradigm and that's why i love the show so much talk about the struggle of uniting needs to kind of radical factions left and right that's going over the over the summer and since i started
1:54 pm
buzz saws able to really kind of see all of these different from like you know in the green party all the way to like the libertarians in the liberty movement things like that and the thing is that they all of a common enemy they all believe in the same changes they all want to change the same things problem is the very divided with how and i think the i think what we have to do in order to overcome all this is we have to stop you know the marrow in our focus where to stop believing that i'm right and you're wrong everybody has good ideas to change the world and if we don't start paying attention and taking the little ideas one from here one from there one from there you know what will help us join up to overcome this these giants that we're fighting you know and i believe that that can happen i think it is happening when you see when i went to occupy camps you would see ron paul people sitting next to the green party people now their ideologies are completely different with how to change things but they all believed in the same cause and that's why we need we need togetherness we don't need to be divided. we want to divide it because if you divide them and get us fighting amongst ourselves then we're never going to change the system why do people need to close the circle for them because i feel like if i bring up aspects
1:55 pm
of libertarianism aspects of socialism aspects of it i'm just put in a box and so it's easier not to listen to me how can we open this dialogue what you know i think i think the more information we put across whether shows like breaking the side or my own buzzsaw the more that gets out there and the more different gas we have on the more different ideologies get on the more people become a little bit more oh you know what i did hear a good idea from that person i don't like him on all other fronts but i did hear a good idea from that person and i think that education will slowly chip away at that kind of instinctual i don't like you're different than me you know i'm not changing that'll change you know we were able to do that with segregation we were able to do that all throughout history so we'll have to get everyone check out buzz thank you so much tyrrell been a pleasure to have you in d.c. give me one of those pens before you leave the most important. thanks so much you guys that's our show for tonight thanks for watching i'm going to morrow and i break the set all over again. and.
1:56 pm
oh my god by i do no longer access big clearly holy moley china bans bitcoin how will we survive shrink the mainstream media well in fact by i do the e bay of china no longer exists because but it was only ever one of by these many subsidiaries which is so big and that was for one samsung product for several weeks and those weeks only one point three seven bit cleaner ever sent to buy do look here this is their wallets.
1:57 pm
i play this street cleaner. love with a waitress i go on stage managing that there's an audience i used to take drugs and drink like a. police told me about the circus but i was such a punk i was like what circus. circus is clearly gonna. break down stereotypes about kids from disadvantaged
1:58 pm
backgrounds. they look like bounty islands where the locals can enjoy the sun and the ocean. but what was buried here years ago. means these people are suffering the consequences. how much more poison lies on the ground. behind this there is what we call the callet bank on which there is a deposit of plutonium left by security test which caused the dispersion of radio nuclides despite previous cleaning efforts there remains a deposit of a little less than two kilos of plutonium stuck in the rock the coral reef about
1:59 pm
ten metres down. a never ending legacy. please please. please. please.
2:00 pm
ukraine's president agrees to consider all of the opposition's demond since the country's capital becomes a honey pot to keep you and us diplomats meeting with both sides of the standoff. that's all to please push back and see government protesters and clear some of the barricades set up and i mean parts of the city to return to work off the days of paralysis. in the u.k. he warns companies against dealing with israeli partners in the occupied territories saying that illegal status makes business plenty of risky for british. and a business start to the wait for a lot of approach and having met the country's top human rights watch dogs to discuss a mass amnesty the russian president orders the military to focus on the coldest front yet they all take.
